Is Makkah Mentioned In The Bible?

*هل ورد ذكر مكّة في الإنجيل ؟

Muslims are ever praising and glorifying God in their prayers, and supplications.

They also start anything in His name. During their visits to His house for pilgrimage they sing:

O, my Lord, here I am. Here I am associating no partners to You. Verily, all praise is for You. Every bounty is from You and all Sovereignty is Yours. You have no partner.

In Arabic language it reads

لبّيك اللهمّ لبّيك لبّيك لا شريك لك لبّيك إنّ الحمد والنعمة لك والملك لا شريك لك

Muslim pilgrims dwelling in the Holy House of God in Makkah, ask God for forgiveness. They drive their strength by fully relying on Him.

Before I dwell Much on the topic I would like to quickly brief you about what the bible is all about.

The bible which Christians believe to be the Word of God is not the Injil (الإنجيل)which Muslims believe was revealed or given to Prophet "Isa" (عيسي) peace be upon him عليه الصلاة والسلام

According to Muslims, the bible which Christians are using today in modern world contains the word of God , word of Prophets, word of historians, it even contains the absurdity, po*******hy, as well as in the bible scientific errors .

If these errors phonography, absurdity and all that are there in the bible therefore, we can not attribute this book to Almighty God because Almighty Allah is free from infallible and errors.

Coming back to our Topic of the day .

The bible refers to Makkah as Bacca or bakka in the book of
Psalms chapter 84 Vs 4 _8

Bible says :

Blessed are those or are for those who travelled to the valley of Bacca .

Alhamdulilah we all know that Bacca or Bakka is another name for Makkah which is mentioned in the Qur'an

Chapter 3 Vs 96

سورة ال عمران

إنّ أول بيت وضع للنّاس للذي ببكة مباركا وهدي للعالمين.

Verily, the first house of worship appointed or established for Mankind was that at Bakkah (Makkah), full of blessings and a guidance for Al- Alamin the Mankind.

In another verse of
Psalms chapter 84 Vs 8 _10

Bible says

Blessed are those whose strength is in God
"As they pass through the valley of Bakkah.

From the above mentioned proofs and evidences we have come to know that pilgrimage is mentioned in the bible and as a result Islam is the truth and the only religion acceptable in the sight of Almighty God as mentioned in the Qur'an

Chapter 3 Vs 85

ومن يبتغ غير الإسلام دينا فلن يقبل منه وهو في الأخرة من الخاسرين

Whoever desires or seeks any other religion other than Islam, it will not be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers.

My brothers and sisters if truly you are seeking for the truth, this is the eye's opener for the truth seeker .
